Best Friend


you created a life that is precious and now without regret   
with a man that I first met
I forgave all your lies and reinstated my trust       
now you have found yet another love
left a despirate man who will forever love you for who you are
I never imagined that the short romance would lead me here
It was a black out night a lonely 2 weeks ago
now there's someone else living with me through every moment
500 thoughts flowing through my mind
Do I have this child and lose you?
Do I have an abortion and lose myself?
25 years old, and without a plan
why couldn't I have just chosen a different man?
